Do Canadian Tariffs on U.S. Imports Affect AMSOIL Product Prices?
Trade policies between the U.S. and Canada play a significant role in determining the cost of imported goods, including AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. If Canada imposes or increases tariffs on U.S. imports, it could lead to higher import duties for Canadian buyers, ultimately impacting pricing for Canadian consumers and businesses.
Understanding these potential changes is crucial for dealers, distributors, and customers who rely on AMSOIL products. Proper planning and strategic purchasing can help minimize the effects of fluctuating tariffs and maintain cost efficiency.
What Are Tariffs, and Why Do They Matter?
Tariffs are government-imposed taxes on imported goods that cross international borders.

For customers in Canada, Canadian import tariffs on U.S. goods could lead to higher costs when purchasing products from the U.S. Since lubricants, greases, and automotive fluids fall under specific Harmonized System (HS) codes, it’s important to monitor tariff classifications and trade agreements like the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) for potential changes.

To ensure consistent pricing and availability, customers can take proactive steps to manage potential cost increases due to Canadian tariffs.
Strategic Inventory Management
Stockpiling products before tariffs increase can help lock in lower costs. However, inventory planning must include proper storage measures to maintain product quality and shelf life.
Follow Storage Guidelines
Synthetic lubricants are designed to maintain their original performance over time, provided they are stored correctly.
Synthetic Oil Product Shelf Life
🔹Liquid Lubricants – Last up to five years when properly stored.
🔹Grease Products – Typically have a storage life of two years, as they may harden or lose oil content over time.
🔹Ideal Storage Temperature – Keep between 32°F (0°C) and 85°F (29°C) to prevent water contamination, additive separation, and performance degradation.
Proper storage reduces waste and ensures customers can continue using oil products effectively, even if tariffs cause temporary supply chain disruptions.
